Midlifers with Salone Mehta | Mirchi Salone Mehta MIDLIFERS is a slice of (mid) life show, with interesting guests from all walks of life: actors, directors, musicians, investment bankers, foodies and more. The one thing they have in common-an earned space, through tedious and not so tedious years of living. You must be forty or above to qualify! It’s is a freewheeling chat format, where our guests get to rant, rave, reflect and ponder about their life, their choices, the moments of glory and the moments of pain. This wisdom is not one you will hear in any class room, as our guests share stories, anecdotes and incidents that life has thrown at them, as they explain every line, groove, wrinkle, grey hair and the tale behind them. We delve into regrets, realizations, rebellion, road not taken and the road ahead. Midlifers is hosted by Salone Mehta.

As we are on our journey between space and time, there will become an awaking. Welcome to Young and Alive The Island of Doctor Moreau H. G. Wells Philosophical, strange, and a little grotesque, The Island of Doctor Moreau by influential author H. G. Wells is praised as a classic due to its inspiration for many science fiction books and movies alike. H. G. Wells, who is renowned for his debut novel The Time Machine, is known as "the father of science fiction" thanks to his prophetic fiction on alien invasions, time travel, and space exploration. Wells' work habitually finds itself questioning evolution and religion, while stretching our imagination of a futuristic society. The Island of Doctor Moreau follows Edward Prendick, a shipwrecked scientist who is saved by a man named Montgomery and taken aboard his ship. Here, Prendick is introduced to a grotesque, bestial servant named M'ling and several other animals that belong to Montgomery who are on their way to an unnamed island where Montgomery works. Once arrived, Prendick is not allowed to enter the island, but the natives take pity on him and introduce him to Doctor Moreau, a Dueling Dualities pod9w I’m not the best at holding space for two things to be true.

Traumas I thought I’d worked through have taken new meaning and form. Walking in tandem with my husband through his first pass at recovery, and my journey anew, is where you, the listener, enters. Join us as we unfold and rebuild...from the ground up.We focus on exploring the cognitive dissonance of life, marriage, and the human experience through the eyes of recovery. We walk in curiosity and humor. Please come walk along side us and learn, laugh, and cry with us.
